Twelve global planning and urban design interventions--and what they reveal about equity-centered urban resilience in the face of climate change.

Hillside favelas in South America imperiled by landslides. Flood-threatened mobile home parks on the American Gulf Coast. Canal-side settlements facing eviction in megacities in Southeast Asia. Too often the places most vulnerable to climate change are the ones that are home to people with the fewest economic and political resources. And while some leaders are starting to take action to reduce climate risks, many early adaptation schemes have actually made preexisting inequalities worse. In The Equitably Resilient City, Zachary Lamb and Lawrence Vale ask how cities can adapt to climate change and other threats while also doing right by disadvantaged residents.

Lamb and Vale's model for the equitably resilient city includes four central domains: (1) environmental safety and vitality; (2) security from displacement; (3) stable and dignified livelihoods; and (4) enhanced self-governance. These principles represent the four LEGS (Livelihoods, Environment, Governance, and Security) of equitable resilience. To illustrate these core principles, the book draws on 12 case studies from settlements facing a range of hazards across diverse geographies in the Global North and South, from heat stress in Paris to drought in Bolivia to floods in Bangkok and New Orleans. Offering concrete strategies in the form of planning, community action, and design interventions, Lamb and Vale show that equitable urban resilience is not a pipe dream nor an abstract ethical proposition but an achievable reality grounded in struggle and solidarity.

十二項全球規劃與城市設計介入措施——以及它們揭示的在氣候變遷面前以公平為中心的城市韌性。

南美洲的山坡貧民窟因滑坡而面臨危險。美國墨西哥灣沿岸的移動房屋公園受到洪水威脅。東南亞的超大城市中,運河旁的社區面臨驅逐。最容易受到氣候變遷影響的地方,往往是那些居住著最少經濟和政治資源的人的家園。儘管一些領導者已開始採取行動以減少氣候風險,但許多早期的適應計畫實際上使既有的不平等情況更加惡化。在《公平韌性的城市》中,Zachary Lamb 和 Lawrence Vale 探討城市如何在適應氣候變遷及其他威脅的同時,對弱勢居民做出正確的回應。

Lamb 和 Vale 提出的公平韌性城市模型包括四個核心領域:(1) 環境安全與活力;(2) 免於流離失所的安全;(3) 穩定且有尊嚴的生計;(4) 增強的自我治理。這些原則代表了公平韌性的四個支柱(LEGS:生計、環境、治理和安全)。為了說明這些核心原則,本書引用了來自全球南北不同地理區域的12個案例研究,這些社區面臨各種危險,從巴黎的熱壓到玻利維亞的乾旱,再到曼谷和新奧爾良的洪水。Lamb 和 Vale 提供了具體的策略,包括規劃、社區行動和設計介入,顯示公平的城市韌性並非空想或抽象的倫理命題,而是根植於鬥爭與團結的可實現現實。
